This must be the season. In the last few days one of my siblings and two of my friends have called to give me news on some really rough patches they’re experiencing right now. A potential divorce due to infidelity, being burned out of a house, sudden job loss, and on and on…

The only thing I could offer is humor, reflection, compassion, and camaraderie. You are still here! Your heart still beats! You’re down, but not out the game yet!! Find solace in being able to get out of bed on your own power and roll with that, knowing there’s so many right now who wish for that; do it for them.

Push through the negativity with the knowledge that your life must continue on your terms at all costs; there are no compromises when it comes to your own wellbeing. This is my daily affirmation I share with you.
